Wow!
Re: 2024 Brownlow Medal Thread - Lods - 09-23-2024
That really was an outstanding effort.
Congratulations to Crippa.
We probably shouldn't get too carried away though.
You're only as good as your last Brownlow
If there is one thing we could do better in future it is to get a few blokes rising to the challenge and standard he's set, and taking a few votes off him.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Nick Daicos is a great young player but I wouldnt put him in the humble department, more in the entitled its all about me department and Id rather see a player like Bontempelli win the medal if Cripps doesnt...

The team would be lost without the big man in the centre square. This sport, let alone our club, has never seen anyone like him. He is unbelievable. And he will still be here for many more years to come...

Great win Crippa - a true champion!

Crippa is thoroughly deserving winner.
Loveable, loyal to the core, humble guy that wouldnt have an enemy in the world.
Everyone loves this bloke and we are very lucky hes our captain. Can you imagine the delight when this legend is holding up the cup.
Just once thats all i want. Just one time pls
Has the next 3 -4 years to snare one and when he does he will be known as one of the very best that ever played the game.
On a side note i thought nick daicos was quite respectful and genuine in finishing 2nd to the great man. Completely different player to our champ but he is a star and will win one or more in his career and deserves to. Neale on the other hand gives me ablett vibes that cant handle losing it and looks to be sooking it up.
On ya crippa thanks for making a disappointed blue smile.

Congratulations and well deserved, Crippa.
While he doesn't play to win a Brownlow, by listening to and watching him, he prepares himself to be the best and does it week in and out.
Re: 2024 Brownlow Medal Thread - Lods - 09-23-2024
I mentioned before that it would probably be better from a team point of view for a few of our players to actually step up and take votes from Cripps. That wasn’t meant to detract from Cripps’s performance but more to indicate how important and influential he is to our team’s performance. He scored more votes than the rest of the side combined. Walsh did well (16), considering he probably played the year with a bit of back discomfort, but after that there was a bit of a gap to Harry on 6.
I suspect the narrative this week from the detractors might be exactly that. “Who at Carlton is taking votes ahead of Cripps?”
The fact is though, that was the case with most clubs. There was one standout player and then a big gap to second. It was more pronounced at Collingwood than it was with us (Daicos 38, DeGoey 8 ).
Most of the club leaders were mid-fielders/ flankers. Cameron at Geelong was one exception. With umpires voting it’s natural that the on-ballers will be under most notice. Our All-Australian key defender Weitering didn’t score a vote.
Sydney had three players over 20 but a lot of that may be put down to the fact that Heeney’s voted dried up after he was suspended and went elsewhere. (Heeney 28, Gulden 25, Warner 23).

Didn't help that Nick was stealing Josh's votes.
